Hi everyone, in the past few weeks we have been working on a information report about an endangered animal. I chose the blue whale, they are amazing underwater mammals that you can know more about in my piece of writing. It took a bit of time to research all the things I needed to know about the information report turned out perfect (to me). Here it is 😉:
The Wonderful Blue Whales
Have you ever seen a whale? They are underwater mammals which are cousins of the hippopotamus and dolphin. Did you know that?
Blue whales look an amazing true blue underwater but on land they look a beautiful bluish grey. Blue whales are also the biggest animal in the world (now) and they are 90 or more feet in size and can weigh as much as 24 elephants (they weigh from 50,000 kg to 150,000 kg).
Blue whales usually eat large schools of fish and creatures like Octopus, zooplankton and small crabs.
Whales have a very amazing way to locate food underwater. They use echolocation to locate where their prey is. The blue whale’s call can reach 188 decibels but it isn’t the loudest animal on earth since the sperm whale can reach 230 decibels.
Whales make one of the longest migrations of any mammals and they travel about 10,000 miles each migration! The blue whale’s habitat is every aquatic habitat. Blue whales have been found in tropical, temperate, subtropical and arctic seas.
I think whales are super fascinating creatures and there are many things that we can learn about them. Whales are also one of the most intelligent aquatic animals and the sperm whale has the biggest brain of any animal in the world.
